Vannin': A Documentary (THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!)

Howdy, and happy hump day!
I'm super excited to share with you an excellent event to add to your weekend to-do list. This weekend marks the Chicago premiere of a new documentary, Vannin'. Vannin': A Documentary, a recent production from Little Cabin Films, Inc., has been a labor of love of a friend-of-a- friend. Based on this wonderful trailer, I can say without bias that it looks like a thought provoking film that captures a moment in time and culture for one of America's little-known subcultures. Van culture is something that has fascinated the folks behind this documentary, and in the span of the film, they take a peek behind the scenes of this somewhat marginalized coterie of van fanatics (vanatics?). Can we just take a moment to drool over the design, thought, and ingenuity that went into tricking out these vehicles? Fish tanks... with live fish, in fully operating vans? Incredible!

With that in mind, I'm super stoked to see this film Saturday night, and I urge you to join me!!! Also swing over to this fabulous interview with the filmmakers behind Vannin', Nick Nummerdor and Andrew Morgan, conducted by my pal Jess.
